Abstract

In an arrangement for controlling the flow of compressed air from a cylinder of a Diesel engine which includes a decompression valve mounted on a cylinder to permit the discharge of compressed air from the cylinder into a discharge passage, the decompression valve is operable by high pressure fuel admitted to an operating cylinder of the decompression valve via a control line including a magnetic control valve for the admission of fuel from a high pressure fuel distribution duct from which fuel is also supplied to the engine fuel injectors via an injection pipe which also includes a magnetic control valve, and both control valves are operable by a control unit which independently energizes the magnetic control valves.
